you take medication for it (or even OTC vitamins)? i think i have hormonal problems. i'm 35 and definitely before i get ready to start, i'm very aggitated and can cry at the drop of a hat. sometimes i feel the need to cry and really don't know why. the only thing i can think is hormones. i have an 8 y/o and a 5 y/o, so no young babies. i really hate taking medication, (been on something and i can't remember the name of it starts with a "p"). any, my life is pretty good, so i think it's hormones and tired of it. it all started after having my kids. thanks for any info

Hormonal H@ll!
My hormones are giving me a rough time too, although I've had a lot of extra stressors in the last couple years also, so I'm not sure what is what.
I have been having restless leg syndrome on and off, except it is my whole body (not just legs) and I often have that feeling during the day too. It drives me totally nuts when I am working. I can hardly stay in my chair! I think the fact that our job forces us to work as fast as we can (for the whole shift) doesn't help.
What an oxymoron anyway ... work as fast as you can while remaining seated.
Anyone else with RLS? Any good suggestions for relief?
Hormonal effects?
You know, I am way past menopause and I (along with 2 of my aunts in their 80s) have never had any symptoms. One aunt had surgical menopause at 20 something, nothing. I know this is not the same with each women but I never went thru menopause and know the ovaries just withered and died. Last year (age 63) my doctor even was amazed at the moistness on the exam. I have no explanation for that except I just don't feel my age at all, except for those aches and pains that have come with some age.
tried hormonal creams?
myself, i'm meno or post menopausal; but now that i've tried these creams for my hot flashes, i see that they can also be used for PMS symptoms. i got my online at either drugstore.com or vitaminshoppe.com. What seems to be working best for me is the Progest (Emerita) or Progestacare (Lifeflo).
yes, I think mine are hormonal too
I am really awaiting menopause with bated breath. Apparently my mother had migraines too which disappeared after menopause but her migraines lasted just a few hours about once in two years, probably because she never faced a computer screen in her life! Mine started after the use of birth control pills about 14 years back which was apparently the trigger for this and the prescribing doc never asked me if I had a family history of migraines and my mother never told me she had them since they were so rare. So I get them every month without fail and now I have a sort of fear psychosis and probably get them due to that. Sometimes I manage to put it off for a week or two with regular use of painkillers but am not sure if the painkillers will cause more side effects in the end! Thanks for all the detailed advice. I have noticed those things your doc told you about and already know to avoid them, those fast moving objects and flashing lights. I cant take three days off work each time esp since I work from home, so I have to bear it and keep typing, like today. Thanks again.
Hormonal problems can occur...
if the blood supply to the ovaries is damaged during the procedure. This can supposedly lead to an estrogen/progesterone imbalance. There is a condition called post tubal ligation syndrome, although its exact cause is still debated. There are many who complain of worsening cramps or bleeding after having a TL.
Do boys go through hormonal changes as they grow up? sm
I have two boys, one is 6 and the other will be 10 in a few weeks. my almost 10 y/o has been such a good kid through his life. BUT i notice sometimes when he stays with my inlaws, especially my 11 y/o nephew, he comes back home with an attitude. my two boys usually get a long really well. but my 10 y/o spent three nights with my inlaws (two included my nephew) and he has been so cranky with me and his little brother. i didn't know of boys have hormonal changes like girls do.
I wouldn't call it hormonal
I would just call it typical. I would often see small changes in my children's attitudes when they had been around other children. Not to say all other children are bad, I have one niece that was a wonderful influence on my kids.
I am also guessing that it is a hormonal thing..nm

hormonal imbalances and sleep loss - can you help? sm
Hi, ladies. Five weeks ago I began experiencing severe middle insomnia for the first time in my life. I will sleep for 3 hours, be awake for 3 hours, and then maybe sleep for another hour before it is time to get up. I also cannot nap no matter how tired I am because I tried that several times. Ambien CR no longer keeps me alseep, nor does Lunesta, and I am not big on having to take a sleep aid every single night for sleep. I have tried melatonin, which also has not kept me asleep. I have been told I have hormonal imbalances (am nearly 44), am on no HRT, and wonder what anyone might suggest for sleep until I can get myself squared away on some hormonal therapy. My poor husband...He has been a saint through all of this, but I am not sure how much longer I can work, keep up with the house, etc., with missing so many hours of sleep each night.  Pretty desperate here.
